Egg Buns / Buns Stuffed with Spicy Eggs and Onion Filling

This recipe is inspired from the egg puff which I had from the near by bakery. Those puffs are stuffed with spicy onion and egg filling. Since puff pastry dough are not available in my place, I replaced it with regular bun dough. The cool thing about this dough is you could pretty much stuff anything in it. This makes a awesome snack for kids too..

I hope you like it and let me know what you think..

For Dough:

All Purpose Flour / Maida – 2 cups / 250 grams

Start by making the dough. Take warm water in a bowl. Add sugar and yeast in the water and mix well. Let it rest for 5 mins.

Now in a large mixing bowl add flour and salt. Pour in the yeast water and mix well. Drizzle some oil and let it rest for 1 hours till it doubles in size. Knock out the air and divide into equal portions. Set this aside.

Hi I am a big time follower of your blog :) I have tried so many cake and sandwich recipes by you and people have loved it . Thanks for all your wonderful receipes.I have a small suggestion to make , when you post recipe with ingredients it would be very helpful if you specify ... like how much quantity will this recipe make or how many people it will serve. For eg this recipe will make how many buns. Thanks

I tried this bun yesterday. Filling tasted awesome but bun was little hard and dint get fluffy.. I think reason was in dissolving yeast in water. i use bakers dried yeast. i used normal filter water to dissolve yeast. it dint get dissolved properly.. should we heat the water a bit? if yes can u tell me how much we shud heat? pls suggest.
